Menai for the Wednesday night ride..
You'll need good lights and thats about all .. this ride is quite simple.. just out and back along the various single tracks.
See you there.
Thursday morning laps at ourimbah
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
North End of Red Hill Rd, Ourimbah State Forest. There's a large-ish parking area here, just off the main sealed road. There is also a smaller parking area a little further (400m or so from the road) where the trail splits - this second area is the usual meeting point. If you end up driving up a steep hill you've gone too far.
Got a work thing at the tree climbing place next door, thought i'd get a few sneaky laps in before that.
Ourimbah Lap Time
Just trying to plan a couple laps at ourimbah, how long would it take me to do a lap if i can do the dam in about 42m?
Hot Laps.. any purpose?
Could someone please explain to me the actual purpose of a hot lap? I really, simply don’t get it...is it for training purposes? ego so that people think you are quick? or for self enjoyment/satisfaction?
I find this a funny sport - first of all you have to 'get round' and once you conquer all the bits you used to walk or find hard it then seems you are supposed to ride it as fast as possible...and if you are too slow then clearly you are a 'crap rider' even if you can ride the whole lot - its odd
Menai day ride Tuesday

I just discovered i can go for a ride tomorrow. I though menai but i am open to other venues as long as it is mostly single trails, and similar thing with the time i can accomodate if someone wants to go for a ride at any other time.
Bodgy solution required for odometer
Hey all,
I have several odometers but for someone reason none of the bits that go on the wheel.
Is it just a bit of steel wrapped around a clip for the spoke? If so i think I can bodgy something up, has anyone done this before and can recommend common household items fit for purpose?
Thanks!
Trail fairy
This must be one of those trail fairies that I have heard about. He snuck into my tyre when riding at Red Hill yesterday and I got a sidewall tear. Good reminder to carry money with you when riding
Specialized Toupe Gel saddle
Rode to work on the new Specialized Toupe Gel that I purchased for my road bike. Most comfortable saddle I've ever been on! It only has minimal padding but it must be the shape of it. It was much better than the Fizik Pave that was on the bike previously.
I'll have to find a MTB version for my Trance. Highly recommended.
I see why cyclist get a bad name sometimes
It seems at the moment that the age old 'battle' between cyclists and other road users is getting more mainstream media attention, with the 7pm Project rant, the comments by Carl Scully and numerous other mainstream press articles recently. I think part of this is that the media loves a 'buzzword' and right now they see this as an issue that can be divisive (just check the responses to some of the mainstream online articles to see).
New bike choice
Apologies for another 'which bike' thread ...
Seriously considering a new bike. What I'm after is a bike suited to endurance events, nice and light, efficient climber but able to descend well too. I think I am probably a bit more XC than all-mountain but would like to be able to do as much as possible with one bike.
